The pediatric well visit is a high leverage and under-optimized resource for promoting the early and lifelong health of children and for preventing and addressing the many evidence-based social and relational health risks that drive inequities in children’s mental health, resilience and flourishing, school readiness and wellbeing. Despite the presence of comprehensive, age-specific guidelines, supportive policy and payment incentives, valid measurement methods to conduct comprehensive assessments and evidence-based interventions, quality and uptake of well care remains low. This workshop presents validated technologies for engaging families to ensure high-quality, comprehensive, family-centered and equitable well care that enables the development of stronger family-provider-community partnerships and reduces stigma related to addressing children’s social and relational health risks. The Cycle of Engagement model (COE), Well Visit Planner (WVP) and Promoting Healthy Development Survey (PHDS) IT technologies will be demonstrated. Participants will have hands on engagement with these technologies to both learn and consider application to meet their quality improvement, implementation and/or systems change goals. Evidence and a case study from a recent hybrid implementation study will be featured to engage participants in the specification of common element requirements, skills and methods for effective use of the COE technologies to engage families, providers and teams in Personalized Connected Encounters (PCEs) and to identify opportunities to leverage the COE, WVP and PHDS technologies to conduct research to evaluate and build evidence for effective well care models that address the health and wellbeing of children and families in the social and relational contexts in which they live.
